Yes, one of the most infamous world leaders on the planet met with…checks notes…some rodeo clown from South Dakota who shoots puppies?
Well he did want to meet Dennis Rodman, so…
The Worm is in the Hall of Fame and a unique talent in all of basketball history. His personality is…also unique…so I’m not saying I want to meet him. However, comparing someone so significant to the history of a major sport to someone who will probably be a footnote in US political history is just insulting!
A lying republiclown? I’m shocked.
Someone callous enough to murder their own dog is a liar, too? Color me surprised!!
Somehow I doubt that dog story is even true, she comes across as nothing but performative. It only backfired on her this time (or maybe it didn’t, we’re probably not the target audience of her performance)
According to Democrats in her state’s legislature, not only was this a story that a lot of people already knew about, there were witnesses.
So no, it’s true, and she did the worst attempt at damage control I’ve ever seen.
See about half-way down here: https://apnews.com/article/kristi-noem-book-dog-killing-5710b302e33f61c697f20ab3b227a19b
I skimmed the article, I’m not reading anything about witnesses or people already knowing about it before the recent uproar.Its in the article (Not that it really matters: However the story turns out, she’s an awful person either way. It’s just I’m not sure what kind of awful person we’re dealing with here.)But South Dakota Democratic Senate Minority Leader Reynold Nesiba considered the disclosure more calculated than stupid. He said the story has circulated for years among lawmakers that Noem killed a dog in a “fit of anger” and that there were witnesses. He speculated that it was coming out now because Noem is being vetted as a candidate for vice president.
“She knew that this was a political vulnerability, and she needed to put it out there, before it came up in some other venue,” he said. “Why else would she write about it?”
